Just so...so bad

An absolute waste of money

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Although I have previously seen the topic of a female coach/manager been tackled (cough), by the British way back in 1989 ! in "The Manageress" with the always lovely Cherie Lunghi, it is safe to say that we haven't gotten much further in this development. Therefore this new Norwegian show is a welcome addition to the discussion of egalitarianism in sports management.The female protagonist here is surely competent and well aware of all the pitfalls and opposition she faces during this first season. Personally I found the subplots involving her daughter a bit off, as if they couldn't really figure out what she wanted - which is probably realistic enough, but makes for bad storytelling. Also it is glaringly obvious that Jon Carew is a former player and not an actor :-), however most of the rest of the cast is really good and the location scenery is just beautiful. Norwegian fjords, I mean - come on... NRK (Norwegian PBS) is on a hot streak with their TV-shows these days - good on them.

Marvelous cast, very well scripted and directed, delivers on every level with a diverse, fascinating cast of characters. There is also the extra bonus of the show being filmed in the magnificent town of Ulsteinvik, Norway The only thing I found a bit tiresome was the predictable adolescent drama of Helena's daughter which was by no means the fault of the actress. Everyone involved did a stellar job. Would love to see a second season!

Bad acting, stupidifying, exaggerating stereotype male chauvinism. Could have been a lot better. Gets a five, just because I love football!

Very well played and a good script!! Many unknown actors, very good main characters. Worth viewing!!
